The Importance of an Opt-In Page Combined with an Auto Responder.

If you want to be successful in online marketing, but don't have an auto responder, you are missing out on a very vital part of what should be in your online advertising plan.

One thing that's important is you shouldn't just advertise the home page of your site. Yeah, you'll get visitors and they might click on a few things, maybe sign up for one thing. But you'll notice that they are most likely to never return to your home page again.

That is why it's important to advertise an opt-in page or splash page that describes a benefit of your opportunity along with a simple form to capture your prospect's name and e-mail address at the least. You'll be able to get repeat visitors to your website or affiliate link as well as promote new opportunities to your prospects.

Auto responders aren't free. There are some free ones out there, but you are very limited to the number of campaigns and whether or not your e-mail will make it to the spam folder or not.

The service I recommend using is The New Plan Network. It is only $10.75 a month and gives you the ability to make your own opt in page for a number of campaigns as well as an auto responder to automatically follow up with your prospects quickly and efficiently. Along with this service you'll get banner rotators, click tracker, leads blaster, and more.

There are other good services out there like Getresponse and Aweber, but all you'll get is a capture page, auto responder, and an unlimited number of campaigns to run. The thing is that they cost more per month.

Bill McIntosh - We Need More Mentors Like Him.

I saw this video on YouTube a couple weeks back and I was immediately interested in what Bill McIntosh had to say. Check it out:

He made 3.5 million dollars in 2007 using Google AdSense. He stated in a later video that he got a lot of skepticism for posting the video and people didn't believe the check was real. Those people need to change their thinking. I totally believe the check is real. Online advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry. What is 3.5 million when you compare it to that?

Well, after I saw that YouTube video, I immediately went to his site and joined his mailing list. Luckily that same day he was having a FREE Internet Marketing Webinar Training. I was up for that. I'll do anything to help my site get more traffic. The free training was very informative and I learned a lot. It was also very entertaining. People were able to leave posts in the forum and Bill McIntosh took phone calls towards the end of the training.

The point I'm making is to take advantage of great mentors like Bill McIntosh. Who offer to teach you what they know for free. I will definitely be on the next webinar.
